    Default MMO Gaming Terminology Dictionary

    I started a project over at Bright Hub to build up a dictionary of MMO Gaming terms. Right now it is broken up into three sections:

    MMO Gaming Dictionary - Combat Terminology

    MMO Gaming Dictionary - Character Terminology

    MMO Gaming Dictionary - General Terminology

    What do you all think of the idea, and how are we doing so far? What else would you add?

    Those are all straight forward and easy.

    Put in the harder-to-get ones, like "ding" or "toon," or "aggro."

    You should note that not all online games are MMO's (People are constantly calling room-based games MMO's when they are not), the number of people who play a game does not determine if it is a MMO, it is the number who are able to interact in-game at the same time.
